Why are springs critical to the ecosystems in the park? What will the Bow Valley look like in 40,000 years into the future? Join Michael Taylor, Professor of Geology. on a wander through the geological ages of Glenbow Ranch, and see the park through the eyes and imagination of a veteran field geologist.

What a great way to see Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park! Our roughly two hour Best of Glenbow guided tour takes you as far east and as far west as our paved pathways extend. We make frequent stops to explain the history and ecology of the park while you enjoy the stunning vistas. This tour is a great way for those with mobility challenges to experience the park. It’s also a fantastic way for first-time park visitors to better understand how big the park is and plan out their future trips.

We even do a couple specialty tours including a geology focused tour and a photography focused tour. Check out our events page to keep up to date!

Tours are offered every week from Tuesday – Sunday from May through September. They run twice a day from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm starting from the parking lot. Our golf carts can take up to nine people at a time! Cost is $25/person.
